Report: Giants' D.J. Fluker expected to start at RG vs. Bucs

The New York Giants visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a Sunday afternoon matchup and it seems there will be a change on the offensive line as D.J. Fluker is reportedly expected to start at right guard.

The New York Giants appear set to start with their third different offensive line combination in four weeks when they face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday at Raymond James Stadium. This time offseason acquisition D.J. Fluker is expected to start at right guard, according to multiple sources.

The Giants have tried out several options at both the offensive tackle and guard positions. Since right tackle Bobby Hart injured his ankle in Week 2, left guard Justin Pugh slid over to replace him.

Now, with Fluker starting at right guard, John Jerry, the usual right guard moves to the left side. The Giants offensive line will likely feature Ereck Flowers at left tackle, Jerry at left guard, Weston Richburg at center, Fluker at right guard and Pugh at right tackle.

This could be an intriguing move as Fluker’s dominating traits come in the run game, which is something the Giants need to improve upon quickly. This should be an interesting experiment as Big Blue continues to find the right combination up front.
